The Color of Real
Unveiling Authenticity: The Color of Real by Trigger Point
Lyrics
So I step off like a wounded child before you
Expressing vulnerability and pain, comparing oneself to a wounded child before someone.
I never knew what it took to be real
Admitting ignorance about the requirements of being genuine or authentic.
Until I looked in your eyes, Shattering myths about the lie
Realizing the truth about authenticity by looking into someone's eyes, dispelling falsehoods and lies.
Then I crawl inside
Symbolically entering a vulnerable or exposed state.
Show me the light and take away how it feels when they crucify me
Seeking enlightenment and asking to be relieved of the emotional pain caused by criticism or judgment.
And I say
Expressing a determination or resolution.
I know I’ll make it through but it’s hard to be real
Acknowledging the difficulty of being genuine but expressing confidence in overcoming it.
But you show through suffering your true colors
Recognizing the authenticity of someone else through their endurance of suffering.
You’re always standing tall and though I try to be
Noting someone's consistent strength and comparing it to personal struggles to maintain authenticity.
I’m feeling weak because I stray from the tree
Feeling weakened by deviating from a desired path or standard.
But what’s it doing here
Pondering the presence of something and its significance.
Then I fall back into line
Returning to conformity or alignment with expectations.
Where they hurt me
Referring to past experiences of being harmed or mistreated by others.
I do my time over again but you can’t
Willingness to endure hardships again, contrasting with an inability to erase the past.
Where do you find the power
Questioning the source of inner strength or resilience.
And I say
Reiterating determination to overcome challenges and be authentic.
I know I’ll make it through but it’s hard to be real
Acknowledging the ongoing difficulty of being real but maintaining determination.
But you show through suffering your true colors anyway
Highlighting the display of true character through enduring suffering regardless.
Take me alive oh they take me alive
Expressing a desire to be taken alive, possibly metaphorically speaking about facing challenges head-on.
And they suck it out
Describing a draining or exhausting experience inflicted by external forces.
And I say
Reiterating the determination to be authentic despite the challenges.
I know it’s hard to be real
Acknowledging the difficulty of authenticity but emphasizing the display of true colors regardless.
But your show your true colors anyway
Highlighting the consistent display of true character even in challenging circumstances.
